"I'm simply amazed at the lack of moral value you hold in innocent lives. I live in Virginia and I have people close to me affected by this killer and I can't believe you would hold their feelings, their hearts, at ransom. You think closely to someone close to you being murdered and someone making a game displaying how they died constantly.

Hi, I just found this post from the gaymers group. And I hate to say it, but I fail to see the difference between this and a game based on war. In either situation, innocent people have died due to the actions of others. Not everyone who fought in wars before was doing it voluntarily. Look at Vietnam, and the number of games based on that. It's all about doing it whilst it's fresh in your memory so it'll still affect the families and friends of the victims.

This is a similar problem to that posed by the Super Columbine Massacre RPG. And I don't have the answer.

There is a difference, one being as a war is for a true cause on one side or the other, in which case some are fighting for the greater good of the world. Cho was just murdering. He may have been bullied but he became a bully. There are casualties in war, yes, but what was this to solve? A game about a war could teach a lesson, a game about a slaughter is just for sick entertainment. That's the difference.

The greater good is always determined by the winner. And I can't think of any war games that have been about anything other than slaughter. Do games such as Call Of Duty or Medal Of Honour do anything to educate the players?

That is a good question, I've never played them and this was commented originally toward people who said war games were worse then senseless murder games which both are based on real events. Have you played either of these games? What are the goals in them? What's the final outcome? Who do you play as?

*mouth drops open* You're fucking kidding me. Someone made a video game exploiting someone's death for a profit? Holy shit, Travis.

I don't know if there's a law against this, but it sure as hell is fucked up beyond belief. I...oh God. That totally takes away the sanctity of someone's death, even worse, their life. It's like saying all it was worth is a video game, which relives the whole damn thing over and over again.

It's a free flash game online, but they won't take it down unless they reach $2000 dollars in donations and they won't apologize unless they reach $3000 dollars in donations.

I'm glad *someone* sees the point in this.
